More Than Just Pubs And Greenery: Ireland Travel Guide

Ireland is often associated with gently rolling hills, green fields, too many pubs and people spending too much time in these pubs. Other things that come to mind is St. Patrick’s Day as well as the Irish gangsters in the popular movie The Boondock Saints. In general it is thought to have the feel of a pleasant and lazy Sunday morning which altogether isn’t a bad outlook. However if anyone has been to Ireland, they will know that it is so much more. The beauty is not only restricted to the landscape – which by all means is some of the most beautiful in the world – It’s found in Irish Architecture, its atmosphere, people and culture. If you’re planning a holiday, Ireland is one to be definitely considered. And with this Ireland Travel guide, we’ll tell you exactly why.
 

Cliffs of Moher

One of Ireland’s most visited tourist attractions, the Cliffs of Moher are a majestic sight. Located in Western Ireland, they rise to 214 meters above the icy blue waters of the Atlantic Ocean and offer spectacular views of the ocean. The gently rolling plans end suddenly in a sheer drop. Its natural beauty is unparalleled. For an even more impressive view you could climb O’Brien’s Tower located on a headland at the Cliffs.
 

Ireland’s Road

The Ring of Kerry is Ireland’s most popular tourist road, trail and route. It takes you through 10000 years of history traveling through forests and rugged landscapes. It will take a good amount of time to completely travel this but its worth it.
